Thomas & Tayo Ltd is developing technology and commercial infrastructure to make institutional agricultural commodity sourcing more coordinated, transparent and efficient.
Our vision is to create a trusted route through which institutional buyers can source verified agricultural commodities across Kenya through:
We aim to digitally connect institutional demand with verified distributed agricultural supply.
Thomas & Tayo is building an asset-light agricultural procurement business supported by proprietary aggregation technology.
A buyer may require hundreds of tonnes of one commodity at a defined specification.
No single source may hold the full amount. At the same time, several warehouses or suppliers may each hold qualifying quantities.
Aggregation allows these fragmented lots to be evaluated together as one potential fulfilment solution.
Hundreds of tonnes of a commodity at a defined specification.
No single source may hold the full amount.
Several warehouses or suppliers may each hold qualifying quantities.
Fragmented lots can be evaluated together for the buyer requirement.
Start with a real requirement.
Prioritise qualifying stock supported by appropriate validation.
Solve fragmented supply rather than merely displaying it.
Make material quotation components visible.
Do not replicate regulated functions without the required authority.
Use existing warehouses, suppliers and infrastructure rather than unnecessarily duplicating them.
Use software to improve decisions while keeping trained operations staff involved where judgement is required.
Capture procurement, demand, supply, logistics and transaction information to improve future decisions.
The Agricultural Commodity Aggregation Platform is a Thomas & Tayo Ltd initiative, developed to support structured agricultural sourcing, market coordination and trusted engagement between buyers, suppliers, warehouses and other ecosystem partners.
Thomas & Tayo is responsible for the business model, commercial relationships, product direction, platform governance and the continued development of the service.
Specialist technology, compliance, logistics, financial and sector partners may support specific areas of delivery while remaining within the Platform's governance and operating framework.
Whether you buy commodities, hold eligible supply, operate a warehouse or provide logistics, quality or financial services, we would like to understand where our models can work together.
